Deleting the connection of two entities

Deleting the connection via the property table of the linked node

To delete the connection of two entities realised by means of a linked node, the connection itself must be removed, not the node.

The procedure for deletion of connection realised by means of a linked node

1. Select the node where the connection should be removed.

2. The node parameters are displayed in the Property window.

3. In the Property window click the button next to cell Linked node (the button contains the name of the connected 1D member).

4. A short pop-up menu appears on the screen.

5. Click item Disconnect.

6. Clear the selection.

Deleting the connection via the function for disconnection of entities

The procedure for disconnection of two entities

1. Open function Disconnect linked nodes:

   1. either using menu function Modify > Disconnect linked nodes,

   2. or using button [Disconnect linked nodes] () on toolbar Geometrical manipulations.

2. Select 1D members and / or nodes that should be connected.

3. Close the function.

It is possible to apply another altered procedure and swap the first two steps of the procedure.

The alternative procedure for the disconnection of two entities

1. Select 1D members and / or nodes that should be connected.

2. Open function Disconnect linked nodes:

   1. either using menu function Modify > Disconnect linked nodes,

   2. or using button [Disconnect linked nodes] () on toolbar Geometrical manipulations.

3. The function is carried out and closed.

Note: It does not matter whether a node or a 1D member is selected. Always either the linked node that is selected directly or the linked node connecting the selected 1D member or members is removed.
